Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, with an unusual midnight opening on a Wednesday morning, took it $16 million in midnight showings, the biggest for opening on a Wednesday, and near the midnight haul of Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith. Updated 6/25: It concluded its first full day at a hefty $60.6 million, second only to The Dark Knight ($67.2M with a Friday opening), and may be on schedule for surpassing the goal of $150M through Sunday.
